PAPER-HOLDING DEVICE.

Application filed May 11,

allowing the paper to be removed from the roll in predetermined lengths.

For particular uses, it is desirable to have paper in the form of rolls,preferably supported to allow of the revolution of the roll, in orderthat the paper may be readily removed therefrom.

In some specific cases of paper employment, it is desirable that paperstrips of predetermined lengths may be readily removed from the roll,and further, when rolls of this character are exposed in public places,it is advantageous that some means be employed whereby the theft, orremoval, of the paper roll may be prevented.

The device of my invention possesses all of the above describeddesirable attributes with other features of novelty and usefulness aswill be evident upon a consideration of the accompanying drawings and mydescription thereof. Y

My invention comprises a device suitable for the holding of a roll ofpaper in such a manner that it can not be removed therefrom until all ofthe paper has been removed from the core. The locking device is simplein construction, positive in action and incapable of being unlockedwhile the paper roll is within the device.

The device of my invention possesses also the valuable property ofallowing of the removal of a predetermined length of paper, theseverance of the paper at the desired line being accomplished by theinterruption of the revolution of the roll at predetermined periods ofroll revolution, the removal of the length of paper allowing the returnof the roll into its normal position for reuse.

A further valuable feature of the device of my invention is that theroll-revolving means is of such a character as to be oper- 923. SerialN- 638,263.

ative only with roll cores of certain predetermined forms, thus assuringthe purchaser of the source of his paper and enabling the manufacturer,or seller, of the device to be protected against the substitution ofinferior paper.

My device is simple in construction, compact in form, economical inproduction and eliicient and positive in operation.

In the particular form of a device of my invention, shown in theaccompanying drawings, similar parts are designated by similar numerals.

Figure 1 is a top plan view of one form of the device of my inventionwith a paper roll in position.

Figure 2 is a front view of Figure 1 with the paper roll omitted.

Figure 3 is a broken cross-section through the line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a cross-section through the line 44 of Figure 3.

Figure 5 is a cross-section through the line 55 of Figure 3.

Figure 6 is an end View of a paper roll showing opening for sleeve.

Figure 7 is a view of the other end of the paper roll showing openingfor revolving means.

The particular form of the device of my invention, shown in theaccompanying drawings, comprises a support having the ribbed arms 10 and11, the angular portions 12 and 13 of which are rivet-ed to the back 14by means of a plurality of bolts 15, 15. lVithin the back 14 are twospaced slots 16, 16 to allow of the insertion of the screws 17, 17whereby the support may be aflixed to a wall 18.

The arm 10 is extended into the hollow lock-carrying cylindrical member,or casing. 19 having the hollow pin-carrying cylindrical member 20connected therewith.

Slidable within the lock-carrying member 19 is a sleeve 21 having theexpanded head 22. The sleeve 21 has an opening 23 in alignment with theinterior chamber of the pin-carrying member 20 when the sleeve is in itsfurthermost inward position.

Slidable within the sleeve 21 is a bolt having a flange 24, a restrictedportion 25, an inclined portion 26, a body portion 27, 1 restrictedportion 28 and a head portion 29. The portions 24, 27 and 29 abut uponthe inner face of the sleeve bore and the poras shown and described, asthese are given simply as a means for clearly explaining the device ofmy invention.

hat I claim is 1. In a device for revo-lubly holding a roll of paper, incombination, a support, a pair of parallel arms fixedly attached to thesupport, a revoluble member having an extended angular element capableof insertion within a correspondingly formed opening within the end of aroll core and revoluble therewith, said revoluble member being carriedby one of the arms, a slidable extended member in alignment with theangular member capable of revolubly holding the core when in lockedextended position, said slidable member being carried by the outer arm,

a locking means, means positioned within the core for unlocking theslidable member allowing its movement to disengage said member from saidcore, means for limiting the revo-luble movement and spring means forreturning the revoluble member to its original position from a revolvedposition.

2. In a paper-holding device, in combination, a casing having an openingtherethrough, a hollow sleeve slidable within the casing opening andextending therethrough, the extended portion being capable of insertionwithin an opening in a core end, the easing and the sleeve havingaligned holes perpendicular to a bolt slidable within the sleeve, a boltslidab-le within the sleeve, a driver and a pin within the aligned holeslocking the sleeve from movement, means whereby the movement of the boltwill unlock the sleeve, allowing the extended portion of the sleeve tobe drawn into the casing, revolving means capable of insertion within anopening in a core end and revoluble therewith and means for maintainingthe sleeve and the revolving means in align ment with each other, sospaced that a roll core may be positioned between them when the sleeveis within the casing and be engaged and held by them when the sleeve iswithdrawn from the casing.

3. In a paper-holding device, in combination. a frame comprising a backand two spaced arms, a casing having an opening thercthrough carried byone arm, a sleeve slidable within the casing and extending outwardlytherefrom in the direct-ion of the other arm, means for preventing thewithdrawal of the sleeve from within the casing, the casing and thesleeve having aligned holes, a boltslidable within the sleeve, means forpreventing the bolt from withdrawal from the sleeve, a driver and a pinwithin the aligned holes, the pin resting upon the bolt locking thesleeve from movement within the casing, means whereby the movement ofthe bolt will unlock the sleeve allowing the extended portion to bedrawn inwardly towards the casing, means for returning the bolt to itsoriginal position with respect to the sleeve, means whereby the returnof the sleeve to its original position will lock it from movement,revoluble means carried by the other arm in alignment with the sleeveand means whereby the revoluble means may be inserted within acorresponding opening in the end of a paper roll causing it to revolvetherewith, the spacing between the sleeve and the revolving means beingsuch as to allow of the placement of a roll of paper bet-ween them whenthe sleeve is withdrawn and causing the sleeve and the revolving meansto engage in openings within the roll ends when the sleeve is inextended position.

4. In a paper-holding device, in combination, a frame comprising a backand two spaced arms, a casing having an opening therethrough carried byone arm, a sleeve slidable within the casing and extending outwardlytherefrom in the direction of the other arm, means for preventing thewithdrawal of the sleeve from within the casing, the casing and thesleeve having aligned holes, a bolt slidable within the sleeve, meansfor preventing the bolt from with drawal from the sleeve, a driver and apin Within the aligned holes, the pin resting upon the bolt locking thesleeve from movement within th casing, means whereby the movement of thebolt will unlock the sleeve allowing the extended portion to be drawninwardly towards the casing, means for returning the bolt to itsoriginal position wit-h respect to the sleeve, means whereby the returnof the sleeve to its original position will lock it from movement,revoluble means carried by the other arm in alignment with the sleeve,means for limiting the revolution of the revolving means, means forreturning the revolving means to its original position when revolved andmeans whereby the revoluble means may be inserted within a corresponding opening in the end of a paper roll causing it to revolvetherethrough, the spacing between the sleeve and the revolving meansbeing such as to allow of the placement of a roll of paper between themwhen the sleeve is withdrawn and causing the sleeve and the revolvingmeans to engage in openings within the roll ends when the sleeve is inextended position.
